Vu+ Duo 2 PowerRestart

[grantdavey91]

Hi,
did you connect your external hdd again? HDD with external power supply?

ciao

After it booted up this morning I did plug it back in yes, and yes it has its own power

Can you not put the external hdd straight into your tv?

or mount your extenal as mounting when needed.then the box only looks at it when you choose it.

Unfortunately not, I use mac so hdd has to be formatted on expat which TV doesn't recognise, do you think my had is the problem then?
For the first few weeks of having the duo2 it seemed go be fine with it plugged in
I could connect it through other devices if the had is the problem though

How do I do this? When I plug in the had it's just automatically mounts

Personally I would take the external hdd out and see how the receiver responds. I've setup numerous Vu+ receivers up and never come across your issues, but then again I don't use an external hdd or the Vu+ Turbo tuner. Can I ask why you opted for the USB tuner as opposed to the internal ones?

Taking hdd off the receiver is something I will try when I get home, to see if that resolves the issue

I did want to use internal tuner however the duo2 only has 2 slots for internal tuners and they are both used with dvb-s so I went with the USB tuner

[Andy_Hazza]

So the internal slots you must have both slots using a single satellite tuner as opposed to the twin tuner module?

I bought the receiver direct from wos shop recently cost me nearly 400 with the internal hdd,

The tuners are 1x twin dvb-s and 1x single dvb-s , on the back I have tuner a lnb in 1&2 and the 2ND I have lnb1 in and loop out

[grantdavey91]

So could my problem be the ext hdd or the USB tuner? Or both? The box seemed to be absolutely fine before using the USB tuner but I don't understand why it creates problems as its the official vu+ tuner bought directly from wos shop

If I run though my steps for reflash could somebody could identify the potential issue?

Tried without the external hdd, still same issue, box freezes up frequently when on cable channel, so only way to resolve is switching off from back and when I switch back on box freezes on 'double' showing on vfd screen, only way to get by it is plugging in USB as recovery, ignoring the update and letting it boot that way.
I am leaning towards thinking the issue is with the USB tuner

Which is very frustrating because it's made by Vu+ and is designed for the box I have, but clearly doesn't work as its described :/ I suppose I will have to just give up being able to use satellite and cable

It makes sense for this to be the issue because I didn't have any problems before I used cable

[bellejt]

found on several other websites that it is a compatibility problem with openxxx images.The combination seems to work fine on BH .Maybe try once with one off these images.Unfortunatly you will not have the advantages of openvix.

What cam are you using?

Also with your setup, do you have 3 satellite feeds coming into your room going into Tuner A, Tuner B and Tuner C?
